I have a slight problem with my pc. If I leave it on and untouched for a while instead of going to a screen saver the pc turns itself off and then I have to re boot the pc.

Sounds like hibernate is enabled, goto the screen saver settings, monitor settings, hibernate tab and see if it is checked. If so uncheck it.

You shouldnt have to reboot the PC, there should be a button or key sequence to bring the system back up when it hibernates or goes to sleep. Often sleep buttons are added on laptops,

If you do not want this feature, change the windows settings to never sleep, and never hibernate. To find more information about your computer you should have a user manuals or can download one for your system.
